“I learned to be brave and confident........don't shy away from challenges.”

“The surprising thing about ballroom dancing classes is that we learned the polka and the tango. I thought you learned those dances when you are older and more mature.”

“Ballroom dancing is fun, cool and exciting. Sometimes it's embarrassing, but you'll get over it.”

“I think the teachers are very talented.. we learned a lot in the last few weeks..we are very lucky because our school got chosen...it's a great opportunity.”

“My favourite part of the class is the music. I especially like the Merengue music. It has a nice ring to it.”

“...so what, if I dance with a girl...at least i enjoy it. I like ballroom dancing because it is a talent that I could be good at.”

“At first the teachers just said we had to dance.....then we realized we liked it.”

“Ballroom dancing is...fun..makes you more mature because you have to hold a guy's hand...I never wanted to but now I don't mind...this is really a good opportunity because next year in Grade 7 there will be proms and we will know how to dance.”

“I am 11 years old...I think it's good..I've never danced like this before..it's awesome..this builds up my confidence..its new and interesting.”

“I like that the teachers speak to us kindly and respectfully.. I hated dance but now I never hate dance.”

“What I like about ballroom...is having fun and cooperating with each other and respect and working to do as the teacher says. My favourite dance is all of them because is is lots of fun.”

“Dear ballroom dance teachers, I really enjoy...this program...my favourites are the tango and the fox trot, they are fun and cool. I would really appreciate it if you keep this program going...it has inspired me and...others to know how to dance with freedom and with boys.”
